Hey All.
After a 12 year hiatus I've decided to dust off my Dillion press and pick up reloading again. Used to shoot a lot of .45 back in the day and reloading was the only way to feed my habit without breaking the bank.
Looks like I still have most of what I need...may need to splurge on a digital scale and still need a decent bench.
Looking for advice on location. For those of you who have a basement setup, what do you do (if anything) to safeguard against keeping powder/primers separated from basement hazards (water heater, boiler) ? I've got a great spot in my basement for a bench, but I'm concerned that it's a little too close to things with open flame.
2nd choice for a location is my garage...but that would turn reloading into a three season activity. No heat. Plus I'd have to shuffle cars around anytime I wanted to make some ammo...not great.
Thanks.
